Back from Colorado.
The weekend was not too terribly eventful. UNF won at Stetson, and Mercer took Belmont to overtime before falling. The three strata in the conference are pretty well defined now. Jacksonville, Belmont, and ETSU are all 3 games clear of 4th place and within one game of each other. One game separates the other four tournament-eligible teams. Gulf Coast is the class of the transition schools, with the other three pretty even.
Player of the Week is a five-way race this week, with Ben Smith, Mike Smith, Alex Renfroe, Lehman Colbert, and Kevin Tiggs all having solid weekends. Take your pick; I would have no quibble with any of them.
The current week is one of the longest of the season, running Wednesday through Monday. The biggest game of the weekend is tonight -- ETSU @ Jacksonville for first place.

June 24 -- Rest
June 25 -- 3 miles, run/walk mix. Time: 39:16
June 29 -- 2 miles, run/walk mix. Time: 24:37
June 30 -- Two VBS's, in the office until after midnight. Excuses, excuses . . .
July 2 -- 3 miles, run/walk mix. Time: 38:11
July 7 -- 3 miles, run/walk mix. Time: 37:24
July 13 -- Battling nasty intestinal infection for the last several days. Going to the doctor tomorrow morning. Hope to get back out there soon.
July 16 -- Training on hold while I take a month's worth of antibiotics.
September 19 -- Elkton 5K, 37:39.
September 23 -- Soccer season and the SHC are over. The antibiotics have run their course. I'm even over the flu. So no more excuses. Today: 5 miles, run/walk mix, 1:06:21
September 26 -- 5 miles, run/walk mix, 1:05:24
September 28 -- Mowed the entire lawn (front, back, and side) in 3 1/2 hours,stopping only to clear pine cones. The half-marathon will take about 3 hours, so making my brain and body go that long is big.
October 3 -- Made it almost six miles before getting hit -- HARD -- by cramps. Felt like my liver was trying to crawl out of the scar where my chest tube used to be. Walked back. Total time about 84 minutes. Gatorade is my friend.
October 5 -- Finally finished a 7-mile bustle. 1:31:39
October 8 -- I moved all 7 miles, but had hydration issues the last 1 1/4. Cramps, some joint stiffness, and my face falling asleep made for a slower-than-good time. One more week of 7's before I try a 9. 1:41:09
